Founders
Jacqueline Schutter and Dennie Wellerdieck are both chartered accountants with longstanding experience at a medium sized audit firm, where we learned the trade and developed our own vision on serving customers. Attracted by entrepreneurship we started our firm to serve SMEs as they should be served to our opinion. We offer a personal approach with passion for our profession.
​
Entrepreneurs are characterized as pro-active, innovative and prepared to take risks, while avoiding risk is their main risk. You might be a motivated entrepreneur with a clear goal, so are we, besides being auditors.
Jacqueline Schutter
After gaining experience in various jobs, I finally settled in accountancy. I have successfully completed the master and postmaster program at Nyenrode Business University to become a chartered accountant. I love working with SMEs, mainly because of the personal contact with customers and the actual insight in their businesses. Financial audit is not just about figures. Figures show the state the business is in, the accountant tells the story that comes with it.
I come from an entrepreneurial family myself. I like working with entrepreneurs, get inspired by the positive mindset. It’s important to figure out what really matters to the subject business and provide constructive criticism in order to add value.
​
To feel good and do what you’re best at means a lot to me. Combining work and a lovely family can be quite challenging. To stay in shape, I like being outdoors. Practicing outdoor sports as much as possible and get motivated by connecting to inspiring people.
Dennie Wellerdieck
While studying Business Economics at HES in Amsterdam, I went to an open house at the office of one of the Big Four accountancy firms out of curiosity. I had been doubting about accountancy since I started studying and led by this experience, I decided to become an accountant. I started working at a medium sized firm while studying at Nyenrode Business University to become a chartered accountant. I have been a partner in this firm for five years, serving just SMEs. The size of this type of organization involves some lack of financial knowledge and adequate internal control. Personal contact and working close together, without losing independence, to figure out the business risks thrills me and gives me energy. Being a critical sounding board for various entrepreneurs and their management makes this work interesting for me. I like having a close relationship with my clients, in which there is laughter and the occasional essential debate.
​
My loving and caring family completes my life and guarding a healthy work life balance.
